Hi,
Mainly out of curiuosity (at the moment...) but could someone please clarify this to me for future reference.
Mine is an early CB400N (kicker) model. Going through some maintenance and tests, I also tested the generator to note down the figures for later comparison.
After my findings I suspect either a soon failing generator or more likely my superdream is fitted with a version that was made for CB400T.
The resistance between the green & white leads (low speed source) is 337 ohms, which is more within the given range for "T" models, according to shop manuals or "Rex's" guide.
The resistance between the other leads are perfectly normal.
Looking into it further, The CDI has a "C" mark on it, that is also mentioned in the manual for the "T" models with higher frame numbers.
The generator is Hitachi, but the flywheel looks slightly different too, and does have the "yellow paint" on de winding screws.
It works fineat the moment and if if stays like this I'm happy but I have to keep in mind, she's over 40 years old and sooner or later it will fail (hopefully later..)
The question is, when the time comes, should I look for a replacement part (or rewind service) for CB400 "T" or "N" models? Can they be interchanged (mix&match) between these models or is there a major or any difference functionally between these parts at all?
Sorry for being dumb, I might just reading too much and overcomplicating the whole thing 😵💫🤓
Thanks in advance for the clarification.
